25 top baby products for 2016

Well this post took me much longer than it should have to get up! But there were so many amazing products at the ABC Kids Expo and I had the hardest time deciding which ones to share with you. I had hundreds of pics of products on my phone to sort through, but I finally narrowed it down to my top 25. So here we go, for round #1 at least. More round-ups on other days, including car seats & strollers, of course! And sleep sacks too, because there are so many options these days!

1 | The OXO Tot Sprout Chair in new colors! I actually squealed when I walked past this display. OXO Tot is adding white, gray, & black highchairs as well as gray & navy seat cushions to the lineup. With all the current color options plus the new ones, there will be a total of 30 options to choose from! Available for purchase from Amazon.

2 | Fridababy’s new thermometer, the FeverFrida! This thermometer checks your baby’s temperature every four seconds through a little bluetooth monitor patch placed under their arm & will send an alert to your smart phone when the temperature rises above a predetermined threshold. No need to wake & disturb your sick babe. So smart. Available for purchase from Amazon.

3 | The all new Mini Mat by EZPZ. This brand launched last year with their silicone placemats that suction to the surface of tables, keeping your kid’s food off the floor. They’re adding a mini mat in November that will be a better fit for most high chair trays. Available for purchase from EZPZ or through Amazon.

4 | The DockATot mult-functional lounging and playing pod that is all the rage with the babies these days. They keep baby surrounded in a comfortable and snug environment whether playing, lounging, or working on tummy time. They come in two sizes ranging from 0-36 months, and are made with the highest quality materials. Available for purchase from Amazon.

5 | Jack N’ Jill natural toothpaste for babies & kids. This stuff was new to me and now I’m now obsessed! It’s all natural, color free, sugar free, preservative free, and sweetened with all organic natural flavors. And can I just tell you how yummy it is? Plus I’m a sucker for good packaging, which just happens to be recyclable and BPA free! Available for purchase at Amazon.

6 | The Munch Mitt Baby Teething Mitten. It features a textured flexible surface that provides soothing teething relief, plus it’ll keep little ones entertained with its crinkly noise and stimulating black & white pattern. It’s made from food grade silicone and is BPA and phthalate-free. Available for purchase at Amazon.

7 | Modern-Twist’s Mark-Mat silicone coloring placemats. These reusable coloring placemats are made from food-grade silicone. Kids can color them with the included dry-erase markers, then simply wipe clean and start over! Perfect for keeping little ones entertained at restaurants. Available for purchase through Amazon.

8 | Neat Cheeks flavored face wipes for kids in peach. You’ve probably seen scented face wipes, but these ones are even better because they’re flavored with the natural plant extract Stevia. They make it much less of a battle to clean your kid’s face. Available for purchase on Amazon. (Image via Neat Cheeks Instagram)

9 | The Guidelight by SnapPower. I love these because they’re clean looking, and you don’t have to worry about your little ones trying to play with a plugged in nightlight. I want one for every room in our house. Available for purchase on Amazon.

10 | The sweetest bath time friends by SoapSox! These are so fun & clever. They’re washcloth plush animals that you get wet, “feed” with liquid or bar soap, and then foam up for bath time! They’re anti-microbial, machine washable, and have an optional string you can use to hang them to dry. The ones pictured below are the newer, smaller Soap Pals that will be released in the spring. SoapSox can be purchased on Amazon.

12 | Luxe floor pillows by Pello. The Pello can be used as a newborn lounger, tummy time mat, and a secure spot for a wobbly baby to sit. Once they get older, it can be used as a lounger. It has two handles and folds in half for easy carrying, plus it has one small pocket and loops on the side to attach your baby’s favorite toys. Available for purchase through Amazon.

13 | The super smart LugBug Car Seat Handle. Invented by a dad who set out to build a sturdy, ergonomic, and easy-to-use car seat handle for parents. The handle can be adjusted to the position that’s most comfortable for you. Pre-order yours from LugBug.

14 | The 4moms High Chair. This thing has magnets in the tray to guide it right into place. And not only that, but the tray top also has magnets in it to keep the corresponding magnetic dishes in place, hopefully reducing the amount of dishes thrown on the floor! I love how sleek it is, and the one-piece insert will make it easy to clean. Available for purchase from Amazon.

15 | Re-Play Recycled Tableware. These toddler dishes are made out of recycled milk jugs right here in the USA, plus they’re super durable and lightweight. I absolutely love the addition of white to the line-up. Available for purchase from Re-Play or Amazon.

16 | Aden + Anais Nursing and Maternity Pillow to be released later this fall! I’m so excited about this, and I don’t even need one. Ha! Other upcoming collaborations include an adult Dream Blanket with (RED) and swaddles with Zutano. Available for purchase at Amazon.

17 | The Boon Snug Spout. They turn any standard cup into a sippy cup! I plan on keeping one in the diaper bag for use at restaurants since they work so much better than regular lids. Available for purchase at Amazon.

18 | Lollaland’s Glass Baby Bottles that are not only adorable, but also feature an anti-colic ventilation channel. And since they’re glass, they’re naturally BPA, BPS, & phthalate-free! Available for purchase now from Amazon.

Now your baby will be able to be closer to you while you’re cooking or eating dinner. Available for purchase now through Amazon.

23 | The DaVinci Jenny Lind 3-in-1 Convertible Crib in green! The Jenny Lind crib has long been a favorite of mine, and I love that it’ll now be available in a fun color at an affordable price (just $199). Plus it’ll convert to a toddler bed so it’ll last you for years. Available for purchase on Amazon.

24 | The Skip Hop Explore & More Amazing Arch Activity Gym. This gym has an adjustable arch that can be positioned overhead for back time and then brought down when your baby is big enough for tummy time/sitting time. Also has a parent phone pocket behind the mirror that you can use to record your baby or Facetime with the grandparents. Available for purchase from Amazon.
